The OverstoryThe Overstory by Richard Powers

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


My favorite book of 2019. A great book about people and trees, and a good antidote for complacency and cynicism.

Our Living Ancestors: The History and Ecology of Old-growth Forests in Wisconsin (And Where to Find Them)Our Living Ancestors: The History and Ecology of Old-growth Forests in Wisconsin by John Bates

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Northern Wisconsin Naturalist John Bates has written a great book about remnants of old growth forests. This book is not only a social and natural history of these bits of forest, it is also a great guidebook, so if you like exploring Wisconsin, this will be a must-have book to take along with you.
